For a start, don't get too hooked up on the response time as it is a
red herring. All it does is give the time for a pixel to go from full
on to full off. It takes longer to turn from one brightness to another
and this is what they mostly do rather than going full on to full off
so as an indicator of panel speed, it's a poor one. For example, I have
a HP LCD with a 25ms response time yet I've not noticed ghosting on 3D
games.

What is more important is contrast ratio and viewing angles - the more
the better.

Above the £100-£150 bracket, it is quite hard to find a bad monitor.



Thanks Conor, that's all good information and I'll bare it in mind. I
still can't ignore what the reviews say of course but it'll help me with
minitors where I can't find reviews, such as the Sony's which do look
nice. I wasn't really looking for response time anyway, and was prepared
to go to 16ms if everything else about it was good.

REad this article about pixel response times and see why they should be
taken with a slight pinch of salt...
